NAIA - National Animal Interest Alliance is a non-profit organization based in Portland, Oregon, dedicated to promoting animal welfare and strengthening the human-animal bond through research, public information, and public policy. It represents a broad spectrum of animal owners and advocates for high standards of care for pets, livestock, and working animals, while distinguishing between welfare and rights in its policy positions. The organization supports scientifically grounded wildlife management, sustainable resource use, and agricultural practices that treat humans and livestock as integral to the environment, and it upholds reasonable legal protections for animals rather than extending rights to animals. NAIA positions itself as a moderate entity that supports the rule of law and opposes illegal acts or misrepresentations in debates on animal issues. The organization operates with a relatively small team and seeks to inform policy and public understanding through its research and communications efforts.
